Could backfire on the Saudis too. If there is another terrorist attack in the UK the Brits can start to demand the Saudis start another crackdown on radicals and dangle the continuation of the EF service contract over their heads. Imagine if the Saudis all of a sudden have a few squadrons of EF and their manufacture threatens to cut of the supply of spare parts and upgrades…
@Marhkimov: Sorry, I understand where you are coming from but so many of my friends are in the military and I want them to have the best equipment possible so they come home alive. One of my long time family friends just came back from Iraq and is in Buffalo for his post deployment "cool down", he is career air national guard (with a wife and three kids) and just not fighting isn’t an option he would consider I think. I'm just glad he is a support guy and not a riflemen.
